How to connect with the original cosponsors of the POST GRAD Act

The POST GRAD Act

Introduced in the House on December 10, 2015, the Protecting Our Students by Terminating Graduate Rates that Add to Debt (POST GRAD) Act, also known as H.R. 4223, would restore graduate and professional student eligibility for the in-school interest subsidy for Federal Stafford Loans.

This means that students would no longer accrue interest on these loans while they’re still in school, saving them thousands of dollars in interest payments over the life of the loan.

The POST GRAD Act is critical for graduate students across the country.
